The TeachEngineering digital library provides teacher-tested, standards-based engineering content for K-12 teachers engineering content for K12 teachers to use in science and math classrooms. Engineering lessons connect real-world experiences with curricular content already taught in K-12 classrooms. Mapped to educational content standards, TeachEngineering's comprehensive curricula are hands-on, inexpensive, and relevant to children's daily lives.
Remember... you don't need to be an engineer to use these curricular resources!

The pace of technological change has never been faster, or possibly more disruptive, in history than it is now. The students of today will be the leaders and innovators of tomorrow, but how well are schools preparing them for a future that pivots on science, technology, engineering, and math—the so-called STEM subjects?
Are we preparing our students for a future that focuses on new innovations in math? The latest Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) says not (Stigler, 1999), and I tend to agree

Daniel Pink has written some incredibly thought-provoking books. His latest book Drive and the previous A Whole New Mind do advocate a paradigm shift, particularly for educators.
If you read A Whole New Mind, there is a discussion guide for it. Liz has a copy of all his books at home if anyone would like to borrow. Also, there is a copy in data room.
